Volkswagen Touran Owners Manual: Driving through water
First read and observe the introductory information
and safety warnings
Please follow these points in order
to prevent damage to your vehicle when driving through water, for example on flooded
streets:
- Check how deep the water is before driving through it. The water may be
no higher than the lower edge of the body .
- Do not drive faster than walking speed.
- Never stop the vehicle, reverse or switch off the engine while in water.
- Oncoming vehicles will create waves that could increase the water level
for your vehicle to such an extent that it is not safe to drive through the
water.
- When driving through water, always switch start/stop system off.

WARNING
After driving through water, mud, slush etc., the brakes may react slowly and the
braking distance will be increased as the brake discs and pads will be wet, or possibly
frozen (in winter).
- You can dry and de-ice the brakes using careful braking manoeuvres. Make
sure that you do not endanger any other road users or violate any legal requirements
while doing this.
- Avoid abrupt and sudden braking manoeuvres directly after driving through
water.

NOTICE
- If you drive through water, parts of the vehicle, such as the engine, drive
train, running gear and vehicle electrics, could sustain severe damage.
- Never drive through salt water as salt can cause corrosion. Rinse all components
that have been exposed to salt water thoroughly with fresh water.
